..: Dousojin :..

User Image

[ Full Image ]

Stats

Full Name: Dousojin
Nickname(s): None
Name Meaning: "Traveler's guardian diety" in Japanese
Birthdate: March 20th
Type: Seme
Breed: Velociraptor
Height: 6'
Build: Muscular and strong, heavy from the frequent use of strength and agility
Color: Indigo

Personality

Likes: Defense and protection, safety (though, to be perfectly honest, not all the time...), alcohol
Dislikes: Underestimation, turf war, politicians, word games, mixing work with... just about anything else

Personality: A hired mercenary and bodyguard, Dousojin is a man of few words, and thus makes every last one count. A reserved wallflower, his attempts at remaining as the background in exchanges have had mixed results -- he is not someone easily missed, and his cold exterior have given way to intimidation, regardless of intent (or lack thereof). While he finds it important to keep emotion out of the mix when on the job, he lacks sufficient realization for when he can let his guard down. Due to being so integrated with practices, he has lost much of his ability to just be himself; Dousojin's social awkwardness comes in spades.

History

While not necessarily a social outcast growing up, Dousojin felt it difficult to get along with others. The fact of the matter was everyone was guilty of something, but when the entitled felt it necessary to exert their so-called privilege on the weak, the poverty-stricken, or even the ignorant, the raptor felt the need to step between. He was no better off than either side, but when he know he could wield enough power to shut down a problem before it escalated, he wasn't about to sit idly by.

Of course, this was not behavior that those of a more "elite" class were bound to let lie. Despite the good the boy was prone to favoring, survival should have seemed more paramount to help a greater number of individuals. Ideals did not let him pick and choose who was worth his time, however; that wasn't the way he rolled. He could aid, but so too could pocketbooks. It wasn't long before Dousojin became the one that was endangered as others sought to put an end to the bumps in the road. Going into hiding ate at him more than being a public target -- his wants and needs were not level with one another, but he also wasn't naive about long-term ideals.

He wasn't quite sure how the arrangement came to be discussed, but he was positive it would have been stranger had he not been known within the parts he grew. As such, Dousojin had not taken absolute sabbatical from his crusade, he just had to pick and choose them better. Other methods could be employed, better than he, after all. However, when one came to him in confidence, seeking help, it was not something he could truly turn down. The roads were dangerous and individuals were not chartable lands. Perhaps he merely agreed to the arrangement to flee his trappings of more familiar faces, so he could once more fall back into habit...

..: Rui :..

User Image

[ Full Baby Image | Full Adult Image ]

Stats

Full Name: Rui duMont
Nickname(s): A fair unflattering few one would normally encounter when dealing with a rowdy little kid...
Name Meaning: Double meaning - "Gem life" in Japanese (combining ru - "lapis lazuli" - with i - "life; genuine; birth"); "Sharp intellect" in Chinese
Birthdate: December 11th, 2011
Type: Baby
Breed: Demon-Bear-Rat Mix (1/2, 1/4, 1/4)
Height: ???
Build: Baby fat! 8D
Color: Maroon

Personality

Likes: Magic, discovering potential, quiet, attention (a little conflicted, isn't he?), studying and learning new things
Dislikes: Labels, unfounded first impressions, getting caught red-handed, close combat, uncontrolled fire

Personality: Generally quiet and reserved, at times it is difficult to realize how much of a handful Rui is capable of being when his interest is piqued, or even when he's merely bored. Often seen running shenanigans with his brother, Kunlun, Rui tends to be more the follower but no less the perpetrator, of destructive -- if playful -- acts and schemes. The boy has a thirst for knowledge that can break past even his most reluctant of exteriors; even while aloof to strangers, he is easily intrigued, and sucks up information like a sponge. Rui has the ability to work as a "magic amplifier" to those in the vicinity, the stark contrast to his closest brother's nullifying abilities. Luckily, they seem to cancel out one another when together.

History

There is not much of Rui's early life that he can quite recall. Without a thread of understanding to his defense, or a link to that which might have become familiar had time played more of a factor, his attachments took root in what was readily available to him. From a young age, the only blood relation he knew was Kunlun, but that didn't diminish his attachment overall; in fact, it spread his family circle out even further than it ever would have otherwise.

Under the care of Valentino, oftentimes with the help of Keelin and Kallisto, Rui was able to spread his wings a bit and become comfortable with who he was. Living at the Nullspace exposed the child to a wide variety of perspectives and a banquet of personalities, some more personable than others. The influence fed curiosity, and like a video game, he began to wonder what actions, what words, may break through shells. This was, of course, only attempted on those he wanted to get closer to, or were regular appearances in his life.

His interests were fed in a similar manner -- when trying to get on someone's good side, one could often look to the hobbies of said individual. With horizons branching, there was never a dull moment, between the people in his life and the research capabilities. This was, however, assuming Rui was not causing mayhem where curiosity got the better hand of behavior. Then again, sometimes it's more fun to startle a person and push the limits, is it not?

..: Kirara :..

User Image

Stats

Full Name: Kirara
Nickname(s): Kilala
Name Meaning: Kirara is a cosplay off the character of the same name from the manga/anime series, Inuyasha; Kirara is Japanese for "Mica"
Birthdate: Long forgotten
Type: SemeUke
Breed: Cat (Nekomata)
Height: 6' 6" (good luck getting him to stand up straight, though)
Build: Strong, lithe, and streamlined
Color: Goldenrod

Personality

Likes: Naps, warmth, carrying people (and helping in general), travel, serenity, affection, fish
Dislikes: Poison, people getting hurt (usually, unless it's their own fault...), megalomaniacs, water (though it does not put out his flames)

Personality: Easygoing and flexible, Kirara takes each day in stride, easily able to enjoy slow days just as much as exciting ones. A loyal and trusting individual, his patience for even the most obnoxious of people is astounding; even if he is not one to turn a blind eye on something, he copes with the assumption that there is usually a reason why things happen the way they do. As such, he is almost completely unable to hold a grudge against a friend, and sometimes even a mere acquaintance is given such grace. Kirara, while being a great force to be reckoned with, is always there for when someone needs the comfort, as a shoulder to cry on or a friend to play with.

History

For ages, Kirara has existed as a loyal companion or protective guardian to those who had need of it. Time may be a fickle mistress, but the nekomata's ideals have remained as strong as they ever were. While people may come and go, the land may change and warp, but there is always someone that could use the extra help, no matter how small. The trouble is only in finding them.

Kirara's personal background, while it may shape who he is, has not altered his view of the world. Very little seems capable of keeping him down, but plenty may drive him forward with that much more stubbornness. He might not be the most optimistic, but there is nothing there to keep him from trying.

His current physical adaptation, as a soul hatched from an orb, still has a vast history behind it. Kirara's year of birth is a relative mystery, having appeared long ago, but his childish yet responsible behavior has not wavered with the passage of time, preferring not to dwell on past sufferings. It is more fulfilling to live in the moment, is it not?

..: Jadranko :..

User Image

[ Full Image ]

Stats

Full Name: Jadranko
Nickname(s): None
Name Meaning: The Croatian/Serbian/Slovene variation of the name Adrian (from Roman cognomen Hadrianus - "from Hadria")
Birthdate: July 17th
Type: Uke
Breed: Raccoon
Height: 5' 7"
Build: A bit gangly, but healthy
Color: Peru

Personality

Likes: Symmetry, designation, itineraries, using his hands/having something to do, burritos
Dislikes: Adhesives, rain, raised voices, people playing Captain Obvious, being idle, silence, parsley

Personality: Jadranko is a generally timid person, shying away from most contact by distracting himself with busywork, no matter how small. While this makes him a helpful individual normally, he has a tendency of going too far, and may create an adverse impression of himself by ignoring or otherwise not responding when talked to. His fixations are his coping mechanism: he knows what he wants, but requires a reason outside of what is deemed 'selfish' in order to pursue it. Past that first step, however, he tends to be on his own, and social graces are not a concept he is at anything above "newbie."

History

Jadranko's early life was generally uneventful. It felt as the atmosphere as any other modern family life, wrought with the oddity here and there. As an only child, the boy could act selfish and irresponsible at times, but never to the point of altering his perspective on the way things were run, and where he could do his part.

However, the more he sought to be independent or sometimes a tad "rebellious," the more the weight of the situation seemed to crush him. His parents were stringent on keeping their control on him. When he acted outside their wishes, then his parents "acted out" on him. It wasn't long before he reached out for the help of a close friend, taking shelter in hiding at a place he thought safe. It was, however, not the case -- his friend was a completely different person when within his element and without the street cred. The relationship took a swift turn, for violence became commonplace, without anywhere else to flee to.

For a long while, Jadranko thought himself stuck on the last stop. It took every ounce of effort to finally make his escape, but with nowhere to go an nobody he felt he could trust, the road looked every bit as bleak as it had before. He may grab for every shred of hope he can, but it never feels right. Every equal-but-opposite reaction felt twofold for one step in the right direction, and as far as the 'coon was concerned, that was how it was always going to be.
